Letter: Why can't opposition leaders unite?

To: The Honourables Basdeo Panday, Austin Jack Warner, Kamla Bissessar and Winston Dookeran.

Re: Openly, now, asking you: "Why not?"

If President Barack Obama and Hilary Rodham-Clinton - his arch-rival in his quest to be come the DNC candidate last 2008 US presidential campaign - could embrace the instant after that party decided that he, not she, would be its candidate, then, why does anyone feel the same cannot happen were Basdeo Panday, Austin Jack Warner, Kamla Bissessar and Winston Dookeran all agree to an open, straightforward contest to decide which of them will win the minds and hearts of all who yearn for one, united, alternative political force to the PNM and who, by the way, comprise the overwhelming majority of the population of Trinidad and Tobago? Eh? Why not?
